Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty New podcast. I am
your host, Corey Evans very excited about this week's show.
It is titled College Football Playoff Prospects to Watch. We
have a twelve team playoff with four teams getting to buy.
This is a comprehensive overview or preview of the top
draft eligible prospects from each of the twelve teams in
this year's college postseason pool. If you have not yet
started your twenty twenty five prospect research or even are
familiar with who is going to be upcoming at quarterback,
running back, wide receiver, tight end for rookie drafts next summer,
this is a great starting point self usually begin end
of October, November, and surely December, so I'm right in
my pre draft process. But in terms of film study,
that's mostly megas watching college football as a fan as
an advocate for the game during the college season. So
this is a really good stepping stone for me as well.
Today I've been deeper into the twenty twenty five rookie class. Now,
of course, if you want full access to all of
my off season coverage when it comes to rookies and
pre draft rankings, that's only available on Patreon, and there
are three tiers you can join to become a member.
That is a rookie level for five dollars per month,
Veteran which is twelve dollars per month, or MVP which
is twenty five dollars per month. I'm so excited to
begin that off season coverage and a matter of a
month here again, it's only on my Patreon membership links
in all of my social media bios to join, or
direct link in your Apple or Spotify show notes via
this episode. So I will go one through twelve calling
out who I think are the top names to watch
who are draft eligible into twenty five. Does not mean
they are going to for go their eligibility and declare
for the pros unless it's the senior of course, still
will have those answers very soon. Number one is Oregon Up.
First is Dylan Gabriel, quarterback, a senior six feet two
hundred pounds, three thousand five or fifty eight yards passing
twenty eight touchdowns, is six interceptions, seventh three point two
percent completion percentage rate, eight point eight yards pens attempt
and sixty three for a buck ninety two and seven
as a rusher, he was a Heisman finalist. Ultimately, we
all know now that Travis Hunter out of Colorado won
the Heisman. He's a rare talent, perhaps not the best
wide receiver or the best cornerback on the field at
any given time, but the fact that he's a two
way player.
Speaker 2: The shoe Aotani of college.
Speaker 1: Football, and possibly the NFL speak volumes, so it's no
surprise that Gabriel did not win the Heisman. The fact
that he was a candidate is very encouraging. I'm excited
to see other reforms on the big stage of the.
Speaker 2: College football playoff. Jordan James is a running back.
Speaker 1: He's a junior five ten two ten production this year
of two twenty six the three and fifteen rushing touchdowns,
five and a half yards per tote and twenty four
for two two.
Speaker 2: Is a receiver.
Speaker 1: Tes Johnson is a wide receiver, a senior five ten,
a buck twoty five, so a bit smaller production with
solid seventy eight eight st six and ten eleven point
win is per ketch. And the other wide not keep
an eye on an Oregon is Evan Stewart, a junior
six feet one seventy five forty eight six thirteen and
five for twelve point eight yars per reception. Not as
productive as Tes Johnson and Stuart. May Or may not declare,
but both Tes and Evan should be on your short
list of wideouts to watch for in this year's playoff.
And then a tight end on Oregon to keep an
eye on his Terrence Ferguson. He's a senior six five,
two hundred fifty five pounds, thirty eight five twenty and
three scores with thirteen point seven yards per ketch. He is,
for the most part, draft grade and even rankings, a
top five tight end perceived in the twenty twenty five crop.
Number two seed is Georgia. First, we'll talk about Carson Beck, quarterback,
who's a senior sixty four to two twenty.
Speaker 2: Now. He is dealing with that UCL injury, the elbow ailment.
Speaker 1: From what I've heard, it's rather comparable to what Rock
Purty dealt with before.
Speaker 2: Beck may or may not return.
Speaker 1: His timeline is indefinite, we'll see, but his production was good,
not great. There was a lot of talk that Carson
Beck would be the one point oh one in real
life for an NFL team that needed a franchise calver quarterback.
This year, he went three thousand, four to eighty five
yards passing, twenty eight touchdowns, twelve interceptions, act four point
seven completion percentage rate, seven point as pres attempt and
fifty five for seventy one and one.
Speaker 2: Score as a rusher.
Speaker 1: Bechstock is going in the wrong direction, but I do
think he's still in the day one mix and a
border line top three to five quarterback in this year's class.
And then we'll say just a quick side note, this
year's quarterback class is basically Shader Sanders cam word and
then a major tear drop in value in terms of
being a potential cornerstone or building block for an NFL team.
Carson Beck could still enter that conversation or value threshold,
but after a roller coaster twenty twenty fur season, it's
not a surefire assumption. Trevor Etn running back A junior
five nine two oh five formerly with Florida, now with Georgia,
A one eleven five seventy one and nine rushing log,
five point one yards per carry and twenty eight for
a bucks sixty eight solid production and yes, for those
asking if you're not familiar Trevor Etn is Traves Etn's
younger brother, excited to see if he become a Day
two draft pick at running back, which arguably is this
year's deepest position in terms of depth running back In
twenty twenty five, two tight ends like Georgia keep your
out for that be Ben EuroSec. He is a senior
sixty four to two forty five, fifteen one eighty five,
no touchdowns, twelve point three yeares per ketch and a
name why I like and prefer his teammate Oscar Delp,
another tight ending junior sixty five two forty five assuming
declares for the pros, he went nineteen for two thirty
and four touchdowns twelve point one yards per catch, wasn't
features a pass catcher, but on limit opportunities, Oscar Delp
has the makings of an athletic and agile chess piece
on offense that can blow and pass catch three seed
Boise state, it's obvious there's one name to talk about.
It's Ashton genty running back prospect, the phenom b Jeon
Robinson two point zero, Jonathan Taylor two point zero, perhaps better,
there's that much hype and puff pieces surrounding gent and
rightfully so. Junior five nine, two fifteen. His production is
out of this world three hundred and forty four totes,
two thousand fourred and ninety seven yards rushing, twenty nine
rushing touchdowns for seven point three yards per carry, and
twenty for one to sixteen and one. As a receiver,
genty arguably had better production over Travis Hunter, but again
the debate of a wide receiver plus cornerback versus solely
a running back level competition gave Hunt to the edge
in that decision making process. But gent is the one
point oh one in most likely one quarterback and super
Flex unless you want to shoot for the stars, which
Shudu were Sanders and Kamward in super Flex. But this
is a rare asset, does it all? You won't hear
many weaknesses or redfe lags in any offseason scouting profiles
or outlooks regarding ashing Gente superstar in the making, four
seed Arizona State. One name I want to talk about
is Cam Skataboo, and if you're on Patreon and talk
about him this past week, he's a senior five eleven,
two fifteen, stellar production two sixty three.
Speaker 2: Fifteen sixty eight nineteen.
Speaker 1: Rushing scores six yards per rush thirty seven five or
six and three.
Speaker 2: As a receiver, he's a do.
Speaker 1: It all old school Mike Alstatt meets Ray Rice's body
frame and he is so fun to watch. He's a
yard after contact machine. Cam Scataboo, I think will fit
a power scheme well in the NFL. Might not be
a battering ram that can handle the same workload at
the NFL level as opposed to collegiate level, yet will
form a committee and be a red zone presence, especially
on short yardage downs, goal to goals near the red zone,
or his receiving chops, pass protection and simply pass catching
traits could keep him even more elevated then I'm even projecting.
The concern is level competition, hohold test at the combine
and quite honestly, just draft capital. Do NFL decision makers
truly believe that Camp Scatabu, what he did Arizona State
is that transferable to the pro level. I hope he
has an amazing coll football playoff and I'm excited to
see if he lands Day two or Day three come
NFL draft time, because it will make for a fascinating
rookie ADP conversation. Since like I mentioned, it'll be a
loaded running back crop in twenty twenty five, the number
five seed is Texas. Let's talk about Quinn Ewers quarterback,
junior six two to ten, two thousand, six hundred and
thirty five yards passing, twenty five touchdowns to nine picks,
a sixty six point two complete percenting is rate seven
point six yards pens, attempt forty two rushes for negative
sixty two yards in the ground and one touchdown. He
is not a dual threat quarterback to the likes of
schudorg Standers or cam Ward. Instead, Quinn relies on his
accuracy and decision making to move the ball forward.
Speaker 2: And then you have the whole Archie Manning debate of who.
Speaker 1: Is the better quarterback four Texas at this point in time,
that will settle itself out assuming Quin years of Claire's
for now at the Fairs.
Speaker 2: For Texas in the postseason.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Bond wide receiver, a first round talent here in
most mock drafts, a junior five to eleven a buck
eighty production of thirty three, five, thirty two and five
for sixteen point one.
Speaker 2: Yards per ketch.
Speaker 1: He is a possession wide out, a field stretcher a
lot to like in Bond's game. Undersized slightly, but as
we know case in point issap worldly does not matter.
The right scheme fit and if the measurables pan out
could easily justify his day one projected draft range and
a tight end for you. Gunner Helm Senior sixty five,
two fifty one of my favorite tight end prospects in
twenty twenty five production of forty nine six to eleven and.
Speaker 2: Five for twelve and a half yards per ketch.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's in the same conversation as Colson
Lovelin or Tyler Warren Moore to come on him, but
Gunnerhill might be the next best thing, which could come
at a discount of price. Yet the ceiling could be
similar to the names already discussed. Sixth seed is Penn State.
Will start with Drew Aller, quarterback junior sixty five thirty eight,
not receiving a ton of hype among quarterbacks in next
year's crop compared to Sanders, Ward or possibly Beck. I
will say though at sixty five two thirty eight, his stats,
especially as a rusher, really stand out. Two thousand eight
hundred and ninety four yards passing twenty one to seven
touchdown to pick ratio, sixty nine point one percentage completion rate,
eight point nine yards pass attempt, and the aforemention rushing
output of seventy two two seventy nine with six rushing touchdowns.
Drew Aller is potentially pushing for a Day two selection
assuming the declarers and I think this postseason run will
be huge. First outlook and draft stock Nicholas Singleton, running back.
I don't understand how people aren't more excited about what
he brings to the field a junior. The body frame
alone at six feet two twenty seven just packs a
punch that you don't often see with his versatility one
thirty one, eight thirty eight seven on the ground six
point four yards per rush and then thirty seven, three,
thirty five and five as a receiver. Singleton was once
receiving phenom type hype at the college level that has
since subsided. Nowhere near the ashing gent conversation. However, we
all know that for the most part, rookie running backs
can be found as a value in the second or
third round for dice purposes. Doesn't matter if you're a
day two or day three pick Singleton to someone that
I'll be watching very closely.
Speaker 2: For Penn State.
Speaker 1: And how about Tyler Warren tight end another prospect that
talked about on last week's Patreon show.
Speaker 2: Senior six ' six two forty seven.
Speaker 1: He moves incredibly well for his size, agile, suddenness in
and on the routes. He's a wide receiver in a
titan's body, a do what all type prospect. Listen to
this production eighty eight ten to ty two and six
receiving touchdowns twelve point one yards per reception. That's good,
perhaps great, Yet as a rusher, versatility for a tight
end twenty three totes about ninety one and four. It's
Taysom Hill or the second coming of him, much younger.
Warren isn't as physical as Taysom when it comes to
initiating contact, but Warren is incredibly smooth and elusive for
a six to six almost two to sixty pound body frame.
He is someone that was deemed at best a Day
two draft pick this time last year, had an amazing
senior campaign and right now is neck and neck with
Colston Lovelin in terms of being tight ended one in
the twenty twenty five class, and quite honestly, when I
watch Loveland and Warren, I think Warren's game chances better
to the NFL.
Speaker 2: Loveland is the athletic.
Speaker 1: Freak with potentially a higher seiling, but Warren has the
reliability and consistency that we all cove.
Speaker 2: It. Time for a quick break.
Speaker 1: I'll be back with seed seven through twelve and discuss
the prospect pool from those teams in more detail. I
hope you're enjoying this playoff preview. If you are, please
take a few moments, hit pause, drop a five star
if you want, Apple or Spotify ups me out a
ton much appreciate it. Be right back. The seventh seed
is Notre Dame. Two names want to touch on. First
is Riley Leonard quarterback. He's a senior sixty four two
sixteen modest production for a passer, but his rushing capabilities are.
Speaker 2: A possible fantasy cheat code.
Speaker 1: Leonard had two thousand, ninety two yards pass, sixteen touchdowns,
five interceptions, a sixty six point two completion percenting drake
seven point one yards press attempt, and then one twenty
four seven to twenty one fourteen rushing touchdowns. A former
Duke product who transferred Notre Dame and filled in really
well and as a reason why Notre Dame was a
top five team at one point during the other season
and the number seven seed in the playoffs, and then
Mitchell Evans received a lot of buzz throughout his college tenure,
but it has cooled off a bit. Senioror sixty five
two sixty twenty nine, two seventy two and three scores
nine point four yards per catch is not on the
same level as some of the other tight end prospects
I've touched on, but I think will end up being
the top five to eight name. And what is also
like running back a deep position in the twenty twenty
five crop eight seed Ohio State a few names of
touched on a lot of exciting talent, especially at running back.
Let's start with Will Howard, a quarterback now receiving much
praise recognition which I think could be a mistake or oversight.
He's a senior sixty four to two thirty five, good
body frame, two thousand andrew sixty yards passing, twenty seven touchdowns,
eight interception, very accurate seventy two point three percent completion
rate nine point one yards pres attempt, he's pushing the
ball downfield and then plenty of rushing capabilities in the
tank seventy two a buck thirty one and seven touchdowns
on the ground. Watch him Will Howard in the postseason.
Quin Shawn Jenkins running back junior six feet two nineteen
one forty seven, eight oh five eight in the grounds,
five and a half yards per total and fifteen for
one oh nine and a receiving touchdown. And then his peer,
Traveon Henderson, another running back, a senior five ten two
eight one eight seven fifty one and six rushing scores.
It's seven yards per carry and nineteen for one thirty
five no touchdowns here the Simmer production as running backs
for Judkins and Henderson. I watch film both of them.
I change my mind and waiver back and forth every
other day. I think both will be Day two selections
come NFL draft time. If I had to pick one
right now, I do think that quin Shawn ceiling and
skill set is more appealing to the NFL game as
opposed to Henderson, who looks a bit stiffer in his
upright rushing style he initiates contact is a bit more physical,
But Judkins has that next level speed or gear that
it doesn't necessarily give up junior Gibbs vibes, but to
that extent where the acceleration build up and first is exceptional. Again,
I don't think that he's going to be a Gibbs
level talent. At the same time, it would not shock
me at all if we look back or ahead and
see Quinn show Jenkins end up being one of the
best values or running backs in the twenty five class.
Speaker 2: And then one more name, it's a wide receiver, a mecca.
Speaker 1: At Buka Senior sixty one two oh five, I thought
he would have declared last year did not return to school.
Probably a sound decision because this year's wide receiver class
is weaker than twenty twenty fours, that's for sure. He
went sixty seven forty three and nine touchdowns twelve point
four yards per catch. The debate went evaluating at Buka
as if he's a one or a two at the
next level.
Speaker 2: I tend to think he's more of a two. Think
a T.
Speaker 1: Higgins to a Jamar Chase or DeVante Smith to an
aj Brown. Not an alpha, but very solid and quite
honestly at Googa reminds me of a former Ohio State
alum that being Chris Olave smoothest butters are outrun reliable hands.
I do think that Agmuga could push for Day one
draft capital or a first rounder in real life, at
worse a Day two selection. Nine seed Tennessee. One name
to talk about, Dylan Sampson, running back junior five to
eleven to two oh one two for they six four
to eighty five, twenty two rushing scores, five point yards
per clip and nineteen for a buck forty one. Sampson
was a key cog the heart and soul of Tennessee's offense,
and one of the main reasons why the team made
the postseason.
Speaker 2: Ten seed Indiana. Four names here.
Speaker 1: Curtis Rourke quarterback senior sixty five two twenty three two
thousand eight twenty seven for yards passing, twenty seven scores,
four interceptions, a seventy point four percents rate completion wise,
nine point nine yards press attempt, not much of a
rusher forty one for negative twenty five two touchdowns. A
good point guard or facilitator, if you will. Two running
backs very similar production, Justice Ellison Senior five nine two
ten went one forty eight eight eleven and ten five
and a half yards per to its eleven receptions eighty
four yards and Tyson Lawton another senior five nine two
eight one p thirty one, six.
Speaker 2: Thirty four and twelve.
Speaker 1: It's four point eight yards per touch as a rusher
and eleven for one to fourteen as a receiver, So
the production was nearly spot on, just like Ohio State's
duo of Judkins and Henderson. Whereas Ellison and Lawton don't
have that appeal or alert at least in the draft
grade or fantasy football space, but both should be very
serviceable in the postseason and warn our attention come rookie
draft time and then a wide receiver I think is
being slept on if he declares, could prove to be
a steal in both real life and Donzee circles. It's
Elijah Surratt junior sixty two two oh nine forty nine
eight ninety and eight scores.
Speaker 2: Eighteen point two yards per catch.
Speaker 1: His film is really fun to watch because he is
fundamentally sound in all components. You can't find too many flaws,
and with the six two two oh nine body frame,
I think it could be a mismatch out of the
slot if he using that capacity at the pro level,
So watch out for Elijah Surratt in the postseason. For
Indiana eleven seed smu Bershard Smith running back senior five
to ten, one ninety six two seventeen twelve seventy fourteen
rushing scores, it's five point nine yards per rush and
thirty five.
Speaker 2: Three h three and four scores as a receiver. A
versatile weld.
Speaker 1: Round running back prospect and a tight end is Matthew
Hibner senior sixty five two four twenty two, three thirty
and four scores fifteen yards per catch. Last button, not
least the twelve seed Clemson three names here Caid club Nick,
a junior who may or may not return to school.
He's sixty two to two ten three thousand, three to
three yards passing thirty three touchdowns, five interceptions, a sixty
three point seven completion percent is dreight seven and a
half yards per attempt and one oh six four forty
eight and seven as a rusher, a huge component of
Clemson's offense, and without club Nick at the helm, I
don't think that Clemson a would have been as successful
in twenty twenty four or be made the postseason.
Speaker 2: Phil Maffa a running back.
Speaker 1: He's a senior six one two thirty, massive body frame
two fourteen eleven zho six and eight as a rusher
five point two yards per clip and nineteen grabs eighty
eight yards. And then remember this name, Jake britting Steel,
tight end senior six six two forty uber productive for
a tight end prospect first of all forty five force's
one and seven scores ten point two yards per catch.
I am really excited as I mentioned about this year's
tight end pool of talent. And again, if you miss
out on Colson Lovelin or Tyler Warren, the perceived top
two names, there's going to be plenty of next best
alternative options, and britting Steel is up there for me.
Argument when of Clemson's best overall offensive talents at alone
pass catchers and him and Klubnick have been on the
same page in twenty twenty four, that.
Speaker 2: Will do it.
Speaker 1: If you all enjoyed my college football playoff Prospects to
watch episode, I figure now being okay time to pause
on the NFL content because we're all in the fantasy
playoffs or eliminated and you have a good pulse of
feeling for you're going to be come Week sixteen if
you're in it or out, and this is a great
time to focus whether you're in or out, on the
upcoming twenty five prospect pool, beginning with now the College
of Ball playoffs.
Speaker 2: Thanks again for listening.
Speaker 1: If you want to dive deeper about the upcoming prospect
talent outlook for quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end,
and get a glimpse of my early rankings where I
value them. Rookey adp hit me up for a roster
call thirty bucks, thirty minutes, fifty.
Speaker 2: Hours, one hour. Those are held over Google Meet.
Speaker 1: You can hit me up on social media, Dinasty do pod,
or even send me an email to Dynasty dopod at
gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: We'll get that locked in and coordinated. Colect.
Speaker 1: Everybody's still in your fantasy football postseason. You are one
week away from being in a championship and hopefully claiming
a Super Bowl title. I am right there with you.
Let's finish strong, keep pursuing that title. Run and the
best part about Dynasty, of course, is the worst case
of not winning you at all. As you look forward
to the NFL Draft, which is right around the corner,
thanks again until next time.
Speaker 2: This is the dynasty dricking out. Talk to you all
next week. See you
Speaker 1: English bo
